Are you ready to dress like a chicken for a free piece of poultry? Pollo Campero is celebrating National Chicken Month next week by encouraging guests to come to the Washington Avenue store dressed as chickens for an in-store promotion on Sept. 4.

But the part of the promotion worth clucking about is free chicken. Pollo Campero will give away a free traditional (fried) leg or thigh to customers at Houston-area stores on Sept. 4 from 11 a.m.-9 p.m. The stores offering free chicken include 4701 Washington, 5616 Bellaire, 6324 Texas Hwy. 6 in Missouri City, 702 W. Bay Area Blvd. in Webster and 557 South Mason in Katy.

Pollo Campero is planning to really get into the Chicken Month party mood at its Washington Avenue store that day by encouraging fans to come dressed as chickens. But it adds you don’t need a chicken costume to receive the free chicken.
